I put a BMC DIA into my Bora 4Motion the other week. I have been watching my fuel use and it seems about the same. Others who have added a POD filter seem to report improved economy - maybe it is because I haven't reset my ECU? Is there advantages to a having the ECU reset for naturally aspirated engine? And if I need to do this can it be done by anyone who has access to VAGCOM or do you need to see a specialist?

Nah man, just disconnect the battery for 5 to 10 min and reconnect it. Thats it.
I have installed a Neuspeed CAI and its very similar to what other people have done. Its not so loud but it looks awesome under the bonnet. I'll dig up some pics and post them later.

I wish everything was that easy

Did you notice a difference when you reset?

**balkanac** · 15-04-2008, 04:21 PM

i defenetly (spelling??) did. you will notice the difference even if you dont reset it, but once you do, its even better. so yeah, i'd do it for sure

Thanks for the info.
I'm happy with the BMC DAI so far but I'll see if it gets better when I do the reset on the weekend. I ended getting it from Jim (MRJZ) who put up some pictures of it when it was for sale
